AN: I own this Idea, it is not Stephenie Meyers, I was simply inspired by her books. The plot and character are mine, please do not steal. Props to my friend, Harrysgrll, who edited it and told me the ingredients of Coca Cola. I named a character after her . Thank you! Enjoy!!

"Heading 0-Mark 7834."
"Aye Ma'am."
I stood up. This body was revolting. To be restrained by bi-pedal transportation disgusted me.
I felt the muscles in my lower abdomen begin cramp. A young ensign looked glanced up at me. I rolled my eyes in distaste. The feeling was known as "Hunger", a human way of providing energy to its vital organs.
I sulkily trudged around and headed for the turbo.
"Mess Hall", I commanded.
A few seconds of blinking lights, and the turbo doors opened into the Mess Hall.
I looked around solemnly. What used to be a breathtaking Astrometrics lab was now a dining area. I sighed as I grabbed a tray and approached the counter.
"Good Morning, Ma'am." The cheerful cook, Nikki, bubbled.
I looked at her and faked a smile. It immediately vanished at the sight of the lumps on my plate. I looked up at her, eyebrows raised.
Nikki looked concerned.
"Mashed Potatoes, Ma'am. A treat often served a traditional Earth 'Barbeques'." She stuttered nervously.
I sighed and placed my fingers on my temple. I grabbed my tray and continued down the line. I stopped at the dispenser for liquid nutrition. I looked at the poor variety or supplements the crew had provided.
"8 ounces of 'Coke', low glucose." I muttered.
Immediately, a tall shiny glass, with a brownish liquid inside materialized on the dock. I grabbed at it ferociously and stomped to the nearest table.
It took all my effort not to gag up the vile concoction that was called 'Mashed Potatoes'. Of all the species we had purged, Humans had the worst taste in culinary art.
I took a swig of the 'Coke'.
I began to spew and choke. My head spun rapidly.
"What IS this?" I yelled furiously.
The young chef scurried out of the kitchen and ran to my table.
"It's a solvent of Carbonated H20, Koca beans, ergogenic acids, High Fructose, and a bit of Sodium Nitrate." Chef Nikki said professionally. "And Caffeine!"
"It's POISON!" I screamed, and stormed out of the Mess Hall, leaving the chef at a loss for words.
I hate this. I HATE this. Why, of all the assignments, did my first one have to be here, on this pathetic ship, heading towards this flea speck of a Planet? And in this hygienically unsound body! Humanoid species disgust me!
I kept walking at a fast pace until I reached my quarters.
I sat on the bed, out of breath from my out burst.
"Flimsy, Human lungs", I grumbled.
I tapped on the screen in front of me, and re-read my first initiation letter again, for the 42nd time.
It read:
Ms. Omega Toivonen
We are proud to assign you your first task as a Purifier. The planet you are purging is called "Earth". It is a volatile planet, unworthy of being in our galaxy. Immediate termination is called for. The intelligent form of life dwelling there are "Humans". They are violent and erratic. Avoid confrontation at all times. We are planning an espionage mission, instead of an out-front assault. The goal is to create Chaos amongst which is already chaotic. You will add their Biological and technological advancements to our own, then you will retreat. The planet will implode on Galaxy Date 122203. You have 3 weeks.
-Admiral Alponzix
I leaned back in the chair and shut my eyes.
As thrilled as I was getting this assignment a few days ago, I was now dreading arriving on the Planet. If the Carbon atmosphere did not intoxicate me, the "Coke" surely would…

The cramping in my stomach acted up again. I sighed in defeat, and slowly made my way back to the Mess Hall. When I arrived Nikki, the chef, was screaming at my friend, Doran.
"CAFFIENE!! GODDAMMIT, IT'S CAFFEINE!!" she yelled.
Doran slouched against the wall, looking up at the deranged chef.
Nikki's face calmed and she quickly composed herself.
"Sorry. I have had just too many complaints today, and it's getting on my nerves." She stopped. "And I may have had just a bit too much 'Coca Cola'." She confessed.
Doran stood up and glowered at her.
I walked over to the two of them.
"It would seem to me that this beverage is too much for us. I think it would be best if you took it off the Menu." I calmly stated.
Nikki looked down in disappointment.
"Yes, Ma'am." She said glumly.
Doran straightened up and marched over to me.
"Crazy girl, she is! Imagine, putting such a putrid thing in your mouth!" she exclaimed.
I shook my head, smirking. "It can't be that bad. It's only a few weeks. We will adapt." I said.
Doran glanced at me, and then shrugged her shoulders.
"These Humans are very volatile. It will not take much for them to destroy themselves. We will succeed. Resistance is futile."

"Attention all crew men! We will arrive at Earth in 2 hours! At that time, I am asking everyone to keep from sending and Sub-Space messages and keep all shuttle craft in a high orbit. If you wish to do any of the former, please do so now."
I waltzed over to my quarters, and grabbed a Padd. Now was a good time to start a letter to my kid sister, Alpha, back on Zion, our Home world.
I began to dictate the letter:
"Dear Alpha" I began. I paused.
"No. Computer, delete last sentence."
"Comment Deleted" the computers metallic voice said.
"Hey Alphy! What's up?" I restarted.
PLEASE REVIEW!! PLEASEEE!!
